Reverse bears the original Chicago Pennant Company manufacturers tag. In his short Harvard application essay, Kennedy famously concluded: 'To be a 'Harvard man' is an enviable distinction, and one that I sincerely hope I shall attain.' He indeed attained it, graduating cum laude as part of the class of 1940 with a Bachelor of Arts in government, concentrating on international affairs. His thesis, 'Appeasement in Munich,' about British participation in the Munich Agreement, soon became a bestseller under the title Why England Slept. After graduating he briefly enrolled in the politically conservative Stanford Graduate School of Business in the fall of 1941, but soon left in order to join the Navy as part of the American effort in World War II.
